Of course, "unladylike" McCaskill's lead couldn't possibly have anything to do with "Legitimate Rape" Akin's many outrageous insults to women. Via BuzzFeed:

Rep. Todd Akin's campaign is standing by the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Missouri's 2008 claim that doctors commonly perform abortions on women who "are not actually pregnant."

Akin's evidence consists of a news report from 1978 and the claims of a former Planned Parenthood official, a spokesman said.

"There's ample evidence that abortion doctors on any number of occasions have deceived women into thinking that they're pregnant, and then collect money for a procedure that they don't perform," said Rick Tyler, a spokesperson for Akin's campaign. "And I say they don't perform it because obviously the women weren't pregnant."

Since I'm a big ol' lefty, I can attest to the fact that, whenever I get bored, I go in for an abortion. It's a swell way to make friends and get a little down time! Why, I had two over the weekend because I had a few extra hours to fill. In fact, I'm due for one now, because it's my way of contributing to the evil Planned Parenthood abortion mill specifically, and the economy in general.
